There is something about a sunset that just makes everything look completely different. I have taken pictures of the mountains at Garden of the Gods many times, and sometimes the same scenery can get to be a little old. But no matter how used to a natural feature one gets, seeing it in the sunset [...]
When this year began I took on a very challenging project called “Project 365″. The aim of this was to take a photograph every single day for a full year. Well, I made it a month. Why did it fail? Why it failed is an easy answer, I just do not have the time to [...]
I knew before I started this hobby that taking photos, processing them on the computer, and writing blogs about them would take a lot of time, but I was still unprepared for exactly how much time that would take along with everything else I’m doing right now. Taking photographs is the fun and easy part, [...]

Light painting is a fun way to take photos where you literally paint with light. Using small flashlights (or anything else that produces light) you draw in the air and the camera captures what you draw. Last night I decided to try this out for myself and ended up with some really interesting pictures. I [...]
